Barbara was a very special cousin to me. I was honored to be one of her bridesmaids.
She was always so cheery with her phone calls. She will be missed by so many of us.
Praying that the Lord will comfort her sister, Lenore, as well as her children & grandchildren. Precious Memories for us all. Hugs from Jerry & Marlene.
